* Beatles invade the United States
* The teenage craze - Ed Sullivan appearance
This 10 page newspaper has a two column headline on page 3: "Rating Records Set by Show Featuring Beatles" with subhead: "Some Pros, Some Cons On Beatles" which tells of the building craze for the band here in the United States and their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. (see)
Other news of the day. A few small binding holes along the spine with little spine wear, otherwise in nice condition.
wikipedia notes: On 7 February 1964, The Beatles took off for their first trip to the United States as a group.[49] They were accompanied by photographers, journalists (including Maureen Cleave), and Phil Spector, who had booked himself on the same flight.[50] When the group arrived at New York's newly renamed John F. Kennedy Airport, they were greeted by a large crowd. The airport had never experienced such a crowd, estimated at about 3,000 fans.[51]
The Beatles as they arrive at JFK Airport, New York City on 7 February 1964
After a press conference, The Beatles were driven to New York City. On the way, McCartney turned on a radio and listened to a running commentary: "[The Beatles] have just left the airport and are coming to New York City..." After reaching the Plaza Hotel, they were besieged by fans and reporters. Harrison had a fever of 102 °F (39 °C) the next day and was ordered to stay in bed, so Neil Aspinall replaced him for the band's first rehearsal for their appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
